People always talk about that one person that they let get away, and I never thought I would have that. I was so juvenile to think that everything would constantly work out happily. I was, nevertheless, wrong. I'm a bit older now and have lived through my teenage years and childhood, and I miss it terribly, but the thing I ponder on most is the one that I actually let get away. The entire story is going to sound exactly like an awfully written movie plot, so be prepared. I saw this girl walking around who was absolutely stunning. She was tall, pale skin, beautiful long brown hair and such soft looking lips. I overheard her, and she was speaking German, and I'm pretty big into German culture/language. I speak German. I didn't have many opportunities to use the language, living in Virginia, so I came up to her and started casual conversation, in German (by the way, this is a very good way to pick up chicks. Getting with the girl is almost guaranteed when you can speak a foreign language with the girl -- it's worked 3 times in my case). I learned the girl, whose name I'll leave out for certain reasons, was from Austria, living in New York as a Cover Model. Well, we hit it off and we end up swapping numbers. I was freaking out. I was 20 at the time and just got a 23 year old Model's number? Hell yeah! Before she left back for NYC, we saw more of each other and let's just say -- yes, I am the man. We talked for a while after she left -- literally hours on the phone at a time, all night -- and on the internet. I bought plane tickets to see her over Thanksgiving -- I thought it would be a cool time to visit her -- she had an apartment in the middle of the city. She was excited and the entire trip was planned. Three days before I'm supposed to be leaving, my mom begs me not to go and be there for the holiday -- she was relentless. She didn't want to see me go off and be with another girl somewhere else in the big city, I suppose, and she had seen her and knew she was a model and I guess didn't want me in that crowed. However, I ended up canceling to make my mom happy and the girl and I got in a huge argument and things basically stopped right there. Her and I are still friends and talk and all. The reason I bring this up is because she just sent me some pics and texts of her riding along in the Gumball 3000. I could have been that guy with the hot model, sipping champagne in Miami and shit, but I'm stuck here smoking a bowl typing shit in the forums.
That really sucks, I'm sorry. I haven't really had that experience though. You'll find someone else, next time if you like the girl then don't let your mothers opinion sway yours. Its cool that you speak german I've always wanted to learn a different langauge other then ASL. It is really fun speaking to someone in a different language its almost like a code that only you and the other person know.
It does suck a bit, but it will be a good story to tell the son one day. "I dated a successful model from Austria" - eyes opening wide and him going "NUH UH DAD!!". lmao. Another thing that makes it suck sometimes though. You date someone and you can throw away pictures and all, but I dated this girl, and after the "break up", I couldn't just throw away pictures. She has been in some major US ads too, so I occasionally see a picture of her on TV, in a magazine or something and it's like...."fuck" lol I like language too. I had intended on enlisting in the Air Force as a linguist. I took the test and passed with flying colors and qualified, but in the end I decided I didn't agree with being in the military.
Yeah thats will definitely be something you can tell your son/daughter someday. I can just picture the NUH UH DAD thing. I'm getting a good laugh out of it. Yeah it does suck that you can't just throw away her picture. You could keep it to show them someday. I mean its still cool to have dated someone who is on TV or in a magazine. Its hard seeing an exes face after you break up though. Lol yeah I couldn't imagine being in the military. I've never really liked the idea of killing someone for your country. I don't think its ok to do it for that reason. I'm thinking about learning either French, German, or Latin. I only know one phrase in latin. I think I should learn German though since I am almost full german with a hint of native american. I kind of feel like I have an obligation to learn it. I wonder if I could take it from my step dad's mom. She has such a thick accent she speaks fluent german. Either way learning a new langauge is fun.
Wow you barely know a girl and shes the one that got away? Try being best friends and lovers for 6 years with someone and then one day shes gone. Then we can talk.
I have had my fair share of relationships, including a very serious engagement to a girl I was with for 5 years, so I've been through my fare share as well. And despite being with the one girl for 5 years, I still had a stronger connection to the other one. So what? It all hurts the same no matter how long it was.
I knew that was going to be brought up. I was into fashion photography during school and a photography student, so it was a plus.
Sorry Joey, I've found that the "that could've been me" mentality isn't a very productive one... unless it inspires you not to make similar mistakes. Not to poopoo your story or anything, but was she driving in the gumball or just riding? Even if the relationship had continued you might still have been sitting at home with a bowl. Good luck to you though, and remember that the one that got away is always alluring because you don't have to put up with the day-to-day shit of life...
